The imagery most typically illustrating laser hair removal showcases active men and women, usually in a setting with picturesque views and plenty of sun.

It’s somewhat ironic considering how great a role limiting sun exposure plays with laser hair removal. The more sun you absorb, the more potential for complications with your laser hair removal treatment.

That’s why laser hair removal in the winter can be a low-stress – and smart – choice. And that’s the topic covered in a Shaw Local News report. The article presents three reasons to have laser hair removal during the coldest season of the year.

The first point supporting laser hair removal in the winter is somewhat obvious: less sun exposure. The laser works best on a natural skin tone, focusing on and disrupting the growth cycle of a hair follicle. Additionally, it’s far easier to avoid the sun when the temperature is colder. That means coats, long sleeves, and significantly less time spent outside.

Staying out of the sun supports the next reason to get laser hair removal in winter: convenience. The truth is, there are fewer activities to do when the temperature drops. And these activities are often indoors. The possibility of any kind of complication significantly decreases when the sun can’t impact the color of your skin.

And the final reason to get laser hair removal in winter? Although the possibility of any irritation is very low, should you experience irritation, it’s so much easier to hide it. The mild razor burn that comes from shaving before treatment and redness of the skin after treatment are much easier to hide with long sleeves and pants. And remember, any irritation will last only a day or two and is nothing to worry about.
